Fraser Valley Meats is voluntarily recalling lean and extra-lean ground beef bought between March 5 and March 8 because of a rare strain of e.coli.
A sample tested positive, but Fraser Health says there were no food safety issues with the process in which the products were prepared. The source has yet to be determined.
No illnesses have been reported, but Fraser Valley Meats has offered a voluntary recall for products bought between March 5th and March 8th.
Only ground beef sold at the butcher shop are included in the advisory — not meats that were distributed to other stores.
If you bought ground beef directly from Fraser Valley Meats, you are asked to return it or throw it away.
Fraser Health says this type of E. coli can cause bloody diarrhea and kidney failure, and that anyone experiencing symptoms within 2-10 days of eating the affected beef should contact a doctor.
